The Houston Planning Commission convened on June 26, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, including variances for residential developments and a proposed self-storage facility.

The meeting began with a discussion on Tesoro Ranchos, located within the Harris County Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) near US Highway 290 and the Grand Parkway. The applicant proposed a one-acre single-family residential lot and requested a variance to use a 30-foot access easement instead of direct frontage on a public street. Staff supported the request, noting that the site is at the end of a 950-foot access easement connecting to Botkins Road. The commission unanimously approved the variance, citing that the new home would not generate enough traffic to necessitate a new street.

Next, the commission addressed a reconsideration request for a self-storage facility at Moonshine Hill Loop, situated between the city of Humble and the ETJ line. The applicant sought to bypass the requirement for a North-South street due to the area's limited development opportunities. Staff again supported the request, emphasizing that existing streets meet the intent of traffic circulation requirements. A local resident expressed concerns about increased traffic but ultimately, the commission approved the request.

The meeting continued with a group discussion on extensions of approval, name changes, and certificates of compliance, all of which were approved without opposition.

Finally, the commission established a public hearing date for July 24, 2025, to discuss multiple upcoming projects, ensuring continued engagement with community development. The meeting concluded without further public comments, reflecting a smooth progression through the agenda.
